God our Father is For Us
Dearly beloved of God, if a person confesses Jesus as Lord and believes that God raised him from the dead they will be saved. At that moment they are born again of the spirit from God, and they become members of the body of Christ, which is the Church.
In Christ, God claimed us as His children by virtue of the new birth. We received the spirit of sonship, whereby we cry, “Abba, Father.”
We are the children of God, His heirs, and joint heirs with Christ. We are greeted in the Church epistles by “God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.”
In Christ we are highly favored, and dearly beloved by our Father. Through Christ we have access by one spirit unto the Father.
We know that in everything God works for good with those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose. He determined beforehand that we would be conformed to the image of His Son, so that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
“Moreover, those for whom He determined things beforehand He also called, and those whom He called He also justified, and those whom He justified He also glorified.”
“So what shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who could be against us?”
If someone is against us they are standing in opposition to Almighty God, our Father. He is all powerful; almighty in resources to defend, to support, and to supply our every need.
God is for us, dearly beloved of God. God our Father is not our adversary, the devil is. He is against us, but he cannot stop God our Father from performing every word concerning us.
He cannot undo anything that God accomplished in Christ. He may oppose us, but he cannot be successful in his opposition against us. He cannot prevail against us because God our Father is for us!
Resist him by believing God at His Word, and he will take flight. The Lord Jesus Christ spoiled the principalities and powers in the heavenly realm, making a show of them openly, triumphing over them in his resurrection from the dead. The adversary knows he has been spoiled.
God delivered us from the power of darkness, and transferred us into the kingdom of His dear Son.
Be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armor of God so that you are able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
Our Father instructs us to take up the shield of the right way of believing, with which we will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the wicked one.
Dearly beloved of God, he that is in you [Christ] is greater than he that is in the world, and he knows it.
God our Father is for us. The Lord Jesus Christ is for us. The angels of God were sent as ministering spirits for us. Those who are with us are far greater than he that is against us. Thanks be unto God, Who always causes us to triumph in Christ!
God did not even spare His own Son but delivered him up on behalf of all of us. How will He not also freely give us all things with him?
In Christ we are saved, we have the spirit of sonship, we are justified, we were reconciled to God, we were redeemed and forgiven, we are sanctified; in him we have access to the Father by one spirit, and much, much more.
It is Christ in you, the hope of glory. We are joint heirs with him. In him we have an inheritance. We have the victory over sin and death. We will have everlasting life when he comes to gather us up to meet him in the air.  He will transform these mortal, corruptible bodies so that they are fashioned to be like his his glorious body. We will obtain the glory of the Lord Jesus Christ. We will be glorified together with him. He delivered us from the wrath of God to come. It will take the Father the ages to come to show us the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness to us in Christ Jesus.
God our Father freely gives us all things with His Son.
God our Father is for us! He will never leave us, or forsake us. He is our Helper, our Blessor, our Supplier, He is our prayer Answering Father. He is the Giver. He is the LORD our Healer. He is our Miracle Working God. He is our Deliverer. He loves us, and He cares for us. He is not against us, He is for us!
Who will bring legal charges against God’s chosen ones? God, the Justifier? No!
Who can condemn us? Christ? No, he died for us, yea rather he was raised from the dead, who is also at God’s right hand, who also makes intercession for us. We will never again come unto condemnation; there is no condemnation to those who are in Christ.
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Are we killed all the day long for God’s sake; are we considered sheep for the slaughter?
No, in all these things we are super conquerors through him that loved us.
I am persuaded that that neither death, nor life, nothing in the spirit realm, nor in the realm of time, nor in the dimension of space, nor any created being can separate us from God’s love that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
I would say that God our Father has most certainly proven that He is for us. Never doubt it, dearly beloved of God. Go to Him.
